If your favorite TV show was turned into a Broadway musical, — Page 2

could the cast of 30 Rock just reprise their roles?

ok The Office:
Michael: I'd love to see Matt Cavenaugh do it... Or Brian D'arcy James
Dwight:Roger Bart
Jim: John Gallagher Jr.
Pam: Amy Adams (yes, I know she was on the Office as Katy)

---

For the record, a terrible idea, but:

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

Michael: Andy Karl
George Michael: Gerard Canonico
George Sr: John Lithgow
Lucille: Patti LuPone (anyone remember the episode where Lucille sings along to Rose's Turn?)
Lindsey: Sherie Rene Scott
Tobias: Hunter Bell
GOB: Raul Esparza
Buster: Norbert Leo Butz (he should also u/s Tobias, if only to see him as Miss Featherbottom)
Maeby: Phoebe Strole

---

FRIENDS

Rachel Green-Laura Benanti
Monica Geller-Stephanie D'Abruzzo
Phoebe Buffay-Kendra Kassenbaum
Joey Tribbiani-Noah Weisberg
Chandler Bing-Daniel Reichard
Ross Geller-Patrick Wilson

I think it may need some tweaking.

Dammnit, Rytoast- I was building mine when you posted yours.

FRIENDS

Monica - Sutton Foster
Phoebe - Haven Burton
Rachel - Sierra Boggess
Chandler - Jason Dula
Joey - Cheyenne Jackson
Ross - Chris Fitzgerald


Mike - Matt Cavenaugh
Gunther - Bret Shuford



and with Gossip Girl I'd rather see J.Groff as Nate than Chuck, who could be played by Richard Blake though he may be old for the part.

and my opinion of Sex and the City..

Carrie Bradshaw - Kerry Butler
Samantha Jones - Nikki Snelson
Charlotte York - Lea Michele
Miranda Hobbes - Leslie Kritzer
Mr. Big - Roger Bart
Steve - John Gallagher Jr.
Aidan - David Burnham

Dead Like Me:

Rube - Mandy Patinkin
George - Celia Keenan Bolger
Roxy - Jasmine Guy
Mason - Cary Shields
Daisy - Amy Spanger or Sherie Rene Scott
(Unless the show would use Rebbecca Gayheart's character, Betty and I think Laura Benanti could play it)

Desperate Housewives:

Susan - Kristin Chenoweth
Bree - Jennifer Laura Thompson
Gabriel - Felicia Finley
Lynette - Julia Murney
Edie - Idina Menzel

---

Great casting for Dead like me, I was gonna do that if nobody else did. Hmmm what tv shows of my favorites would make interesting musicals??

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
Dino Whitman - Aaron Tveit
Ben Connor - Ryan Watkinson
Jonathan Fields - John Gallagher Jr.
Jackie Bradford - Lea Michele
Deborah Tynan - Nikki Blonsky
Sue Miller - Nina Lafarga
Monica Young - Sutton Foster

DOUG
Dough Funnie - Blake Bashoff
Skeeter Valentine - Curtis Holbrook
Patty Mayonnaise - Kate Loprest
Porkchop - Rusty Ross
Roger Klotz - Skylar Astin
Beebe Bluff - Patti Murin

THE BLACK DONNELLYS
Sean Donnelly - Ryan Watkinson
Tommy Donnelly - Black Bashoff
Jimmy Donnelly - John Gallagher Jr.
Kevin Donnelly- Curtis Holbrook
Jenny Reilly - Lea Michele
Joey Ice Cream - Seth Stewart
Nicky Cottero - Raul Esparza
Dokey Farrell - Brian D'Arcy James
Jenny's Pop - Tony Roberts

I like your cast, jennyish, but maybe go Erin Dilly instead of Sherie for Lindsey...Sherie's kinda beefy for that.

And I'd cast Daniel Reichard as GOB, though Raul isn't a bad choice either.

Dion't forget, Buster also listened to "Rose's Turn" when he had the wine box, thinking it was juice.

Or when Buster recreated his favorite scenes from CHICAGO...

Who's Kitty? and Lucille 2?

That Arrested Development cast is amazing.

30 ROCK (if TV cast can't do it):
Liz Lemon: Julia Murney
Jack Donaghy: George Hearn
Tracy Jordan: Chester Gregory II
Jenna Maroney: Sara Gettelfinger
Frank Rossitano: Dan Fogler
Pete Hornberger: Danny Burstein

I have no idea who could play Kenneth.

WONDERFALLS:
Jaye Tyler: Laura Benanti
Sharon Tyler: Katie Finneran
Mahandra: Kenita Miller
Eric: James Carpinello
Aaron Tyler: Curtis Holbrook
Darrin Tyler: Stephen Spinella
Karen Tyler: EBERSOLE OMG!
with
Raul Esparza as the Mouthbreather
and Kerry Butler as the Heidi- ho

---

Tyler Maynard as Kenneth = BRILLIANT.

Dammit, I wanted to do 'Six Feet Under' or 'House', but I refuse to pick a show that's already been done. XD

Let's see...

LIFE ON MARS (uhhh... this is gonna take a while...)
Sam Tyler - Neil Patrick Harris
Gene Hunt - dammit, can we just teach Philip Glenister to sing? EDIT: We HAVE to teach Philip Glenister to sing. No one else can play Gene Hunt EVER. It's now been proven.
Annie Cartwright - Jill Paice
Ray Carling - Michael Cerveris
Chris Skelton - Kevin Cahoon
Phyllis Dobbs - Andrea Martin

Actually, most of those were easy to pick, it was only Sam and Gene that took ages. Anyone up for a David Bowie jukebox musical?

I'm gonna come back and do more later.

(You guys don't watch 'Life On Mars', do you? Bum. )
